Masked Butterfly

I saw this gorgeous card on Pinterest and wanted to try my hand at creating something similar.

• I began by die-cutting a butterfly on a post-it note and then used the negative of the die to do the sponging with distress inks.  
• With the mask still in place I stamped two silhouette images in London Fog ink.  
• Instead of turning that into a one layer card I die cut the sponged butterfly. 
• Stamped a Soft Stone card base with silhouette images in London Fog and mounted the butterfly on there.

With all the muted colors I decided that it should be a sympathy card, thus the beautiful sentiment from PTI's Beautiful Butterflies.  I'm definitely going to make a few one layer cards using this butterfly mask and silhouette images.

I'm entering this into the Simon Says Challenge:  Anything Goes

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
